Asanti Imari Herring (born 9 December 1997) is a footballer who plays as a forward for the United States Virgin Islands national team.[1]
Club career
Having left the Chicago Fire academy, Herring moved to England to continue his education. While in England, Herring turned out for semi-professional side Irlam.[1]
For the 2017–18 season Herring joined FC Stein of the Bezirksliga Mittelfranken-Nord.[2] During his season with the club he scored eleven goals in eleven matches for the reserve side but was unable to score in seven league appearances for the first team.[3] The following year he joined TSV Sonnefeld of the Landesliga Bayern-Nordost. During his first season with the club he made 22 league appearances.[4]
In 2023 he moved to Turku in Finland; initially attempting to join Kakkonen club PIF, he instead joined Halkian Alku of the then-fifth-tier Nelonen, after visa issues prevented him from joining PIF.[5] He moved to Norway in August 2024, signing with Sprint-Jeløy, though he was assigned to their second team in the 4. divisjon.[6]
International career
Herring was named in the US Virgin Islands squad for 2017 Caribbean Cup qualification,[7] and made his debut against Sint Maarten, scoring the first goal of a 2–1 win.[8]
